Hey! I’ve written a digital journal for the last couple of years. Backup there wasn’t a problem. But I struggled with finding the „perfect tool“ and switched from app to app and back until I just took a notebook and a fountain pen and started writing couple of months ago.
My question now is: what’s a good way to achieve and protect a full journal physically and what’s your personal backup strategy to back up your journal in a digital way so that you still have your memories in case of your house burning down or another catastrophic event.
Thank you in advance!
I was going to rewrite my handwritten journal into a journal app but gave up pretty quickly - my early journal was written during a pretty stressful time and reliving it was fairly unpleasant so I quit after getting the first month or two (re)written. Knowing that I had a major burnout coming up in the following journal made me realise that I don’t actually want to go back to those times, so I think if I decide to have another go at backing things up, I’ll just be scanning the pages to create digital copies, without having to read them.
